English: Here is a photo of the Chrysler DeSoto 1946 model. Bodywork is the same as the pre-war version except for conventional headlamps in place of fold away lamps.
I (Simon GP Geoghegan: redsimon@gmail.com) am the photographer of this vehicle, and I shot this in August 2006 in Bradford, United Kingdom

File usage
The following pages on the English Wikipedia use this file (pages on other projects are not listed):
DeSoto got the more conventional Airstream styling in 1935 and in 1937, Ray Dietrich designed a DeSoto that became popular for taxicabs. For 1942, the DeSoto moved upscale again, with a larger body and such styling niceties as concealed headlights. That style was revived after the 1942-45 production shutdown for World War II.
DeSoto lost the concealed headlamps for 1946, but got stylish new fadeaway fenders, a new grille and a new nine-passenger Suburban model. For 1949, DeSoto got the corporation's new post-war styling, which did not fare well against the longer, lower, more modern looks of Ford and GM.
